Research Interests:
I’m a theoretical astrophysicist with a specialty in plasma astrophysics. I study how magnetic fields evolve and interact with astrophysical systems from plasma scales to cosmic scales. Cosmic rays, which exist because of magnetic fields, are especially interesting to me.
Biography:
I did my undergraduate work in Mathematics, at U. Chicago, and my graduate work in Astrophysical Sciences, at Princeton. I was a faculty member at Univ. Colorado from 1980 to 2003, when I moved to Wisconsin to take a joint appointment in the Astronomy and Physics Departments. This is a minimalist sketch because I live faster than I update my web page, but if you want more information, please contact me.
